Surfing in Donegal Bay

At the south part of Donegal County lies Donegal Bay, the birthplace and main surfing area in the country. This Bay is home to many world class waves due to its perfect shaped reefs, river mouths and beach breaks. The optimal time to surf in the area is from April to November when the weather is nice and the swells are not massive. Despite that some of the best waves need extra large swells to work making winter a good time to explore sheltered bays and coves.
